lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the rapporteur for her complex, interesting and fertile report. As has been mentioned, single mothers now make up over 5% of the female population in Europe, and I would also point out that 85% of single parents are women. Single-parent families are therefore concentrated on the female side, and this fact should now be increasingly acknowledged by welfare, employment and social security policies. Naturally, as the report shows, this is a highly diverse population in terms of age, legal status and economic situation. In northern Europe, for instance, the vast majority are young unmarried mothers, especially in certain countries in Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, while in the south, most single mothers with children are separated, divorced or widowed. Their conditions are therefore also highly varied. Whereas certain welfare services and systems are probably more advanced in northern Europe, not least because family connections are less extensive, in the south, we are having to face a new, emerging problem of young unmarried mothers as well, but with a welfare system that has not yet been properly focused or thought through. There are therefore different speeds of response. I believe the first thing that should be done, as the report also points out, is to compare welfare systems and best practices in order to work out the right mix of services for employability, for training and for welfare, in order to guard against forms of poverty and exclusion from the job market and to enable these women to achieve a work-life balance, which is much more complicated for them."@en1
